6 Week Challenge: Week 1

So I saw the 6 week challenge on RW's Big Guy blog and decided to do it. I will run 90 miles in 6 wks, stretch 90 min a wk, and do 900 pushups in 6 wks.

I haven't been consistent in my running since I don't really have a big race and don't really have a training plan. I am very loosely following a Higdon 5k plan but I am skipping runs and changing distances all over the place.

I thought about my stretching goals. I wanted to run 15 miles a week, 90 miles in 6 wks, and according to the challenge that come to 90 min of stretching. Actually, it may be 90 min of stretching for the 6 wks but I am aiming for that much per week. I didn't want to just take a yoga class once a week and have that be the stretching for the week-I do that fairly often and wanted to add more daily stretching. I decided that I wouldn't count a longer yoga class but would try to a short (5-20 min) yoga or stretching routine after each run or workout.
